We’re updating our code in a number of ways today and that is resulting
in a number of changes to the format of our data dumps. If you use them
in an automated fashion, please note the following changes:

dateFiled is now date_filed

precedentialStatus is now precedential_status

docketNumber is now docket_number

westCite is now west_cite

lexisCite is now lexis_cite

Additionally, a new field, west_state_cite, has been added, which will
have any citations to West’s state reporters.
We’ve made these changes in preparation of a proper API that will
return XML and JSON. Before we released that API, we needed to clean up
some old field values so they were more consistent. After this point, we
expect better consistency in the fields of our XML.

If this causes any inconvenience or if you need any help with these
changes, please let us know.
